Girls in my Circele.... taken from a email that was sent to me

GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend, And then I started to become a woman. And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.   One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man. Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom. Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities. Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be. One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,' Another , 'Let's fight together,' Another , 'Let's walk away together.'   One friend will meet your spiritual need, Another your shoe fetish, Another your love for movies, Another will be with you in your season of confusion, Another will be your clarifier, Another the wind beneath your wings.   But whatever their assignment in your life, On whatever the occasion, On whatever the day, Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back, Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself . Those are your best friends.   It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several.. One from 7th grade, One from high school, Several from the college years, A couple from old jobs, On some days your mother, On some days your neighbor, On others, your sisters, And on some days, your daughters. So whether they've been a friend for 20 minutes or 20+ years, AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO, Pass this on to the women that God has placed in your life To make a difference. Including the one who sent it to you.                         Thanks for being in my circle.

HOT... HOT .... AND MORE HOT.

Well Texas summer is now upon us. It is just the first of June and by 930am out side is pushing 85 degrees.

I love the sounds and sights and contrast of  a summer.
Lawn mowers.. and the smell of fresh cut grass.
Water sprinkler first this in the morning light and the smell of water and earth together.
Your water bill to keep it pretty green
Being thankful that it is only 80 degrees in the morning because in in about 2hours or less is will be 100.
Sweating at 730 in the morning just walking outside.
Cute summer clothes and flip flops.
Sounds of kids playing in the evening outside, because evening light last until 930.
The blast of super heated air of your car that has been sitting in a parking lot for maybe 30 mins
A warm summer breeze.
People enjoy water parks.
The wonderful summer sun burn.
Runner and bikers in the evening during the "cool" of the day
Working out in the heat and it is 800pm in the evening and it is still really hot.
Texas summer flower that thrive in the summer heat.
The brown of the lay of the land as you start to head into the July and August.
The sound of sun screamer in the heat of the day.
The summer thunder storm.
The "i cant breath" because of the storms humidity and the natural sauna that you get after the summer storm
Kids out of school for the summer
The "mom, I am so board out of my mind" ... and it is only 2 weeks since school has been out.
Summer vacation!!!

be safe ,have fun, keep in motion !!! 

ps: To workout,  you have to be really smart about it. you either need to bring it inside.... or wait till it is cooler in evening....or if you are one of the crazy people, you can get up before the sun comes up workout. Just have to be smart and drink plenty of fluids and listen to your body. ....

before and after

What a difference that a year make. hard work dose pay off ... even if you dont see it till a year later in a picture of almost the same pose. 

This just keep me in motion~

after~ May 2011

before ~May 2010

staying in motion.

Not have the time to train the why that I think that I should. I think that this has been one of the biggest things to over come this motion year.
Sometimes I want to get on my pitty pot and whine about not having enough time,  if I cant on one day... just do it on the next day... no need to whine about it, just need to stay in motion.... I am preaching to my self here.
 This is Mays races  the Heels and Hills 10k 5/1/2011.... awesome... my 1st ever. finished it in 1hr 32mins. and the Fireman's 5K this is now my 3rd year for this event... wow 3 years now of in motion!!!

time to get back to normal for the mama

well as you saw in my last post that was over 2month ago ... i was going to be spending all my time with the Lady Falcons JV Softball team. And as you noticed I have not posted any new blog since the season began.
Well I am here now to tell you that in Falcon country the softball season is now DONE!!! Tonight was the last game.... whooop whoop.

Now don't get me wrong... I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching my youngest daughter play ball, but I have little time for anything else .... wake up, work, pick up from practice, wake up work , race to a game after work, go home relax for all of an hour, pick up at 930pm, ... you get the idea.... rinse, repeat... all week long.

After 2month this mama is ready for a break.
